St Olavsleden - A Nordic Pilgrims

Once you cross the border and enter Norway, the first thing that pilgrims realize is that the Norwegian houses have these beautiful foliage-covered green roofs. Green roofs have become a long-standing tradition in Norway. During the Viking and Middle Ages most houses had sod roofs, and they were almost universal until the beginning of the 18th century. The renaissance of green roofs was boosted by a growing interest in open-air museums, mountain retreats, vacation homes, and the preservation movement. Every year, since 2000, the board of the Scandinavian Green Roof Association has granted an award to the best green roof project in the region. Close to Sul (Norway), on June 15th, 2022.
